Bicycle & Pedestrian Safety

Rules of the Road
Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians all need to follow the rules of the road. The Police Department continually enforces area speed limits, pedestrian crosswalks, and bicycle violations. The Police Department hopes this enforcement will raise the awareness of motorists so they are more mindful of residents who walk, jog, and cycle through the village. The Police Department wants residents who utilize village streets to remember:

Motorists

Keep your eyes open for pedestrians walking on interior village streets

Remember to yield to pedestrians attempting to cross a roadway in a marked crosswalk

Yield to cyclists as you would to any other vehicle as they must also adhere to the same traffic laws as you do

Be aware of posted speed limit signs within the village. The speed limit on all interior village streets is 25 mph

Cyclists

Wear reflective and bright colored clothing so that motorists are able to see you

Cyclists must adhere to the same traffic rules and regulations as a motor vehicle, that means stopping at stop signs and yielding at yield signs

Do not ride in packs on interior streets. Riding in packs crowd streets and creates a safety hazard for both cyclists and motorists
